Same paturn as for the rest of the song
To everyone else I appear quite the same
And I help them as much as I can
But they'll never know that my mind is in the air
Oh how could they ever understand
I'm gonna learn to climb the clouds
I'm gonna fall upon the rain
I'll learn what lies beneath the Earth
I'm gonna learn to fly the clouds
I'm gonna understand the space
I'll even go back beyond birth
